The new Jewish cemetery was established in 1917/18 as the present part of the main municipal cemetery. The first person buried in the cemetery was Berta Hammerschmidt, who died in early November 1916. After the old Jewish cemetery was fully occupied in 1916 and a new one was still in the planning stage, the Chief Rabbi of Cottbus, Dr. Posner, had contacted Mayor Dreifert after her death on behalf of Judicial Councilor Abraham Hammerschmidt.

On the left side of the street was the fur store of the Lehmann family. In the course of the city redevelopment in 1978, this house was also demolished. Two brothers of the Lehmann family were practicing Christians. The entire Willi Lehmann family was transported to the ghetto in Warsaw. The brother, Eugen Lehmann, organized contact with the family and food deliveries from Bernau. With his support, Willi and his wife were able to work outside the ghetto in a fur factory. They managed to escape from the ghetto shortly before the uprising.

The first Jewish girls' school for the Jewish community in Berlin was opened in 1835 in Mitte. After several changes of location, it moved to Auguststra&szlig 11 in 1930. The building had been completed two years earlier by Alexander Beer, the community's master builder at the time. He had the house built in the New Objectivity style. With an area of 3,000 m² it offered space for über 300 Schülerinnen.

The New Jewish Cemetery at Eckenheimer Landstrasse 238 was built in 1928/29 according to plans by the government architect Fritz Nathan. The austere cubic architecture follows the New Building style prevailing at the time, while at the same time reverting to classical elements such as portico, axiality, and peristyle. The only facade decoration is the wall bond of red-brown Dutch clinker.

The Jewish cemetery at Rat-Beil-Strasse 10 forms the southern end of the main cemetery and has been used since the closure of the old Jewish burial ground Battonnstrasse from 1828 - 1928. On the 74,000 square meter large area there are approximately 30,000 - 40,000 graves.

The first burials in the Battonnstraße Jewish Cemetery can be dated to 1272 on the basis of a few gravestones. This makes it one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. In Judaism, the cemetery is considered an eternal resting place; for this reason, the graves may not be dissolved, nor may the gravestones be removed. If no other land is available, earth is piled up in order to be able to bury the dead on top of each other.

The Museum Judengasse is located in the building complex of the municipal utility center on the . In 1985, Swiss architect Ernst Gisel is commissioned to design a new administrative and service building on the site of the former Jewish ghetto. The result is an architecture whose 140-meter-long arcade front is dominated by a sweeping curved ridge line.

The Jewish Museum is housed in the former upper middle-class residence of the Rothschild family and one of the neighboring buildings at Am Untermainkai 14-15. The city architect Johann F. Chr. Hess erected the two buildings in 1820/21 in the classicist style. After Mayer Carl von Rothschild acquired the house in 1846, he had it enlarged by the architect Friedrich Rumpf and furnished with a representative, stately interior. Rumpf coined with his decor "Le goût Rothschild", the Rothschild taste, which still defines part of the premises today.
